That's A Fabulous Handbag

My favorite thing about Lanvin handbags are the pretty bow detail and the signature coin charm that hangs from the shoulder strap. This Lanvin bag is made even better buy the ultra soft lambskin in soft metallic gold and the oversized quilting detail. This bag has double gold chain shoulder straps and signature lining with back wall zippered pocket and front wall slot pockets. A fabulous everyday bag. $1,560 at Mytheresa.com.

Lanvin handbags, especially their metallic python Happy bag, are among my absolute favorites out of all the spring collections. It's beautifully colored in a subtle bleed from gold to a red flap, python is among my favorite materials for a bag, and it has the signature chain strap woven with a silk bow detail and coin charm. It's a medium sized bag, as it's fairly wide and deep, it's somewhat thin. This bag is available at LUISAVIAROMA.COM, $3,422

Lanvin Metallic python Happy fold-over handbag

I die. This bag...words cannot describe how much I love this bag (above). Out of all the Lanvin handbags, the Happy fold over is my favorite, but in metallic python it's even better. And not just any plain old metallic, but a subtle bleeding of all over gold into red, matching the twist lock in front. As usual, the Happy tote has the ribbon in chain strap with Lanvin coin charm and oversized bow detail.

I really like all the handbags from this collection, especially the totes, which are my go-to, everyday designs I typically carry. Totes are simply the most convenient bags for me in my hectic, daily life. The Miki fold-over is an OK bag (last pic), but it lacks the pretty, signature ribbon and bow detail that I love, and the button detail on the front is somewhat random.

Check out the fabulous Lanvin shoes from this collection.

Lanvin's designer, Alber Elbaz, continues his successful formula in handbag designs with lots of layers and ribbon and chain detail. The chain shoulder straps with interlacing ribbons are becoming a signature Lanvin style as it continues into the Spring/Summer handbag collections. This time, however, the straps are covered with thin fabric that accentuate the interlaced ribbons and sometimes bow detail. There were some bags with no fabric detail, and yet were distinctly Lanvin with drapey, jewelry detail. In the world of designer handbags, Lanvin, with the help of Alber Elbaz, is a rising star.

Louisaviaroma is having a huge sale on their handbags, some of them newly released. I'm not sure why, but the European based store gets their products months before they hit the stores here in the US. For example, last week when I was at the Nordstrom semi annual sale, the staff set out a Marc Jacobs bag that has been available at Louisaviaroma since April. I said, "oh, that's last season, I've seen it," and they said the bag just came in that morning.

Check it out, if your in the market for a designer handbag, it's worth it. And their prices include shipping and import tax.  LUISAVIAROMA.COM

This season's Lanvin handbags are really growing on me. I'm especially fond of the Happy PM's. They are big enough for everyday use, they have a convenient, functional design, and are beautifully chic. The Lanvin Happy bags trademark is the ribbon intertwined through the chain strap, and reminds me of a more casual Chanel, especially this particular bag with the quilted leather. As with most Lanvin bags, the leather is cushy and soft with lightweight chains. $2,059 at Kirnazabete.
